RE: linking aira explorer to lyft account

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Have you tried a 4-finger single tap on the bottom half of the screen? That 
moves focus to the last element which may very well be the agree button, if not 
try it anyways and swipe left from there.
Another possibility is the you accidently turned on screen recognition and 
strange things can happen to otherwise accessible apps.

Subject: linking aira explorer to lyft account

Hello, all:
I have tried three times to link my Aira explorer account to Lyft which is 
possible with the Aira app.  I have an IPhone se 2020.  Have gone through all 
the steps except for completing terms and conditions which for some reason I 
can’t hit the agree button even though I’ve read through three times.  I’ve 
called Aira with no success as well as Apple disability.  For some reason, the 
voice over isn’t focused on the area just above the home button.  Does anyone 
have suggestions?  Thanks in advance.  I just want to find the agree button.  
Thanks in advance.

RE: trying to run QR your wi-fi

[llumpkin]

Hi. Sorry for the mangled message. I meant my read easy max reading machine. I 
can put the machine into what they call “distributor mode”. In this mode, I can 
plug in a usb wi-fi dongle and a developer or some qualified person can connect 
to it to get diagnostic info or core dumps, etc. In order to connect the wi-fi 
dongle, I have to input my home network credentials. In the iphone’s shortcuts 
app, there is an accessibility section that has suggested shortcuts, one of 
them being “qr your wi-fi. If you run it right, you can turn your wi-fi 
credentials into a qr code. When this qr code displays on the phone’s screen, 
you can snap a picture of it with the readeasy max and the machine in turn 
authorizes the dongle to connect. You then send IP addresses to the person 
wishing to connect and he/she logs into the readeasy to do their work. I hope 
this explains it better. I got some sighted help and managed to get the QR code 
to display. Maybe voice over was hiding part of the process. I did get it done 
some months earlier but couldn’t manage it yesterday. Thanks for your response 
and thanks.

Hmm, I am trying to make sense of your message, but not having much success. 
You say:

"I’m trying to run QR my wi-fi short" - maybe you dictated this and Siri made a 
mess of it?

 

You also say "I have a reading machine which wants to snap a picture of the qr 
code and enable the wi-fi dongle I have plugged in for remote access by the 
developer."

Can you explain what "reading machine" you are talking about? Are you referring 
to some other piece of hardware which has a USB Wi-Fi dongle? Are you using the 
QR code scanner on the iPhone or is the QR code displayed on the iPhone and you 
are trying to scan it with another device?

Re: Siri’s selective hearing problem still prevails at the end of the iOS 16 cycle

Hi:  Then report it to supp...@apple.com, they need to be aware of these

Hi richard,
To be honest, I have not reported to Apple Accessibility. I don’t see it as an 
accessibility problem. It’s a Siri problem having nothing at all to do with 
voiceover. So I’m not sure what good it does to report this to Apple 
accessibility. I have reported more general things in the past, and gotten a 
response that it’s not appropriate to report this here. I can’t remember what 
it was, but that’s why I never report to them unless it’s specifically can be 
tied to something having to do with voiceover.

Hi Group,

I have been using the iPhone for over 4 years now and I use Siri only in a 
limited context.  While I can use the text keyboard, I am still quite slow at 
it and so I choose to use Siri for Text messages. It works quite well if you 
speak slowly--using some punctuation  and have limited background noise.

As far as phone calls, I have all important contacts: doctors, pharmacies, 
family members, friends in contact from which I use the standard navigation 
techniques to access and dial them. If I have to call someone or some business 
that is not in my contacts and I know the number, then I use Siri.

As far as opening apps, I group the ones I use the most into folder--using the 
edit method of drag and drop and placing these folders on page one of the home 
scre3en.  Again, I use standard navigation techniques to navigate quickly to 
the folders and double tap on the program name to access and initiate their 
functions.

...So am I unusual in operating this way?

I will get the call x person in my contacts and Siri responding with What do 
you want to know about X person, but that is the exception and pretty seldom.
I suspect that is a connection issue with my WiFi...

HTH,

Perfect example. And I bet if I tried that on my old phone which I can’t 
because it no longer has a Sim, it would probably work perfectly. I’m not 
buying this business about the new tone and the delay being the cause. I 
interact with Siri the same way all the time. So if it’s the problem with the 
tone or the speaking delay not being long enough, I should have the problem 
consistently. But there are certain things that it never ever gets wrong. And 
the App Store is the most glaringly obvious one. It never misses opening the 
App Store.

Way back at the beginning of iOS 16’s cycle, people were complaining about the 
new tone for Siri and about problems getting Siri to respond appropriately. I 
was certainly one of those people. N Now, many months later, I’m still one of 
those people. Certain things I can ask. Siri never screws up. Open the App 
Store, for instance. I don’t think it ever missed that command. But open BARD 
Mobile. Open the name of my credit union, and many other open commands as often 
as not meet with some stupidity about what it found on the web or how it 
doesn’t think I have such an app, even though it has opened the app many times 
in the past. I thought it was supposed to have some kind of on device machine 
learning, which would help it disambiguate things it wasn’t sure of. This must 
not be true, because its overall performance has maintained its low level, 
whereas on iOS 15, the very same Siri with the very same commands yields 
reasonable results almost all of the time. So, whatever Apple did in iOS 16
